Takumi Minamino emerged as a potential January signing for Leeds United with just four days left of the transfer window earlier this week.
The Japan international was linked with the Whites after they were reportedly made aware that they would have to wait until the summer to agree a deal for main target Brenden Aaronson.
Initial reports suggested that Leeds saw an initial approach knocked back with Jurgen Klopp conscious of already-depleted attacking options.
